I am interested in an iMac 20" but need help

I was looking into getting a new computer because the PC i have is a bit old and a bit unstable. I checked out dell because i like to play games like WoW and HL2 and BF2 and that stuff. My question is would those games run well on the windows side of my iMac if i were to install bootcamp and when i wanted to play a game boot into windows and play. in WoW's case i guess i could run it on the apple side, has anyone done that yet? does it run better on the intel chip than on the G5s? thanks for the help

I know from experience that WoW works great in OSX native. My copy with 4 cds from Amazon.com included both the Windows and Mac versions. I never tried it on a G5, Intel runs flawlessly though. (If only my dorm's network connection worked at 10pm when everyone is on it). I've also tried Boot Camp to install Windows. It works great, and I've played WoW on it too. Works fine, but some of the keys are strange because Windows keyboards have the alt and control in different places than Mac. Other than that, I know that game works greatly. Couldn't tell you about the other 2 games you mentioned, I've never played those.
Hope that helps!

  • I am un able to send mail as it gets stuck in my outbox. I am sure the solution is simple but need help?

    I am un able to send mail as it gets stuck in my outbox. This is a recent phenomena. I am sure the solution is simple but need help?

    I looked everywhere for a solution - and I finally figured it out! Deleting my accounts didn't work, but here is what worked. This worked when my Gmail accounts were not sending properly. I'm not sure if it works for other e-mail services.
    1. While in Mac Mail, click "Mail" in the top left corner of the screen
    2. Click "Preferences"
    3. Click "Accounts"
    4. Select your account that isn't sending properly
    5. In "Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)" there will be two options - Gmail & Gmail (offline)
    Make sure that "Gmail" is selected and NOT "Gmail (offline)"
    If you navigate to another section in Preferences, it will ask you to SAVE - make sure you save your changes!
    It worked for me, hope it works for you!

  • Ok so I have a free standing iSight Cam, is it possible to use it with my white MacBook ? and if so how do I go about it ? I've tried researching for updates, drives but need help.

    Ok so I have a free standing iSight Cam, is it possible to use it with my white MacBook ? and if so how do I go about it ? I've tried researching for updates, drives but need help. Can someone give me some direction ?

    jpatricio787 wrote: ... is it possible to use it with my white MacBook ?...
    OK so yes, but if, and only if:
    (1) your MacBook has a Firewire port (not all do)
        - and -
    (2) your old external iSight camera works (not all do)
        - and -
    (3) your MacBook is working properly.
    If you are not certain whether your MacBook model has Firewire, you can search MacBook Technical Specifications for your model.  Alternatively, check the  User Guide Manual that came with your MacBook for the information you need to be certain.
    If you are not certain that your old external iSight camera works, you can test it using the suggestions in this link.
    jpatricio787 wrote: ... if so how do I go about it ? ...
    Follow the instructions in your iSight User's Guide to connect and turn on the iSight.  Then launch the Apple app you want to use with your iSight.  If you need more information about using an app, search for "camera" (without the quote marks) in the Help menu choice for the app.

    If you need more direction, post back the specifics of what you still need.  We will offer further direction based on the details of your reply.

  • Purchasing MBA but need help on upgrades.

    Hello, I am purchasing an MBA, but need help on upgrades based on the following; I will be attending medical school in the fall, I take a wide range of photos of my family on my iPhone that I play with on certain apps and do store them in the cloud and computer, I have a medium iTunes libaray but will get bigger with the additional apps for school, I am a moderate gamer (I play games online as well as my kids do, but nothing that will take up a ton of space when downloaded like Assassins Creed) and I plan on running MS Office. I've already decided to upgrade to the 8GB but I can't decide if I should upgrade to the 512GB Flash or stay with the 256GB and upgrade from the i5 to i7 or stick with it. I don't plan on buying another until I graduate. I am new to the Mac World outside of the use of my iPhone which convience me to convert from my awful PC. Can you MBA experts relay some advice on a good route. I appreciate it, Thanks

    My rule of thumb is to buy the largest drive storage available. Especially since the Air models can't be upgraded to a larger size in the future. I also like to buy the most amount of RAM offer and as with the storage space on the Air models can't be upgraded once purchased. So Bite the Bullet and spend the money to get both the most RAM and the largest storage offered as neither can be increased later on.  Also I suggest you spend the extra money on the Applecare extended warranty because to fix any Mac once the standard warranty is over is very expensive. You have until the one year standard warranty runs out to buy the Applecare extended warranty.

  • All of my photos are displayed as BW because somehow I've saved a quick develop preset and it saves as BW.  This is for all of my photos.  I can individually undo them but need help in how to get rid of the preset so it goes to Default. thanks

    All of my photos are displayed as BW because somehow I've saved a quick develop preset and it saves as BW.  This is for all of my photos.  I can individually undo them but need help in how to get rid of the preset so all photos goes to Default or as shot. thanks

    Go to the develop module and highlight all of the images in the filmstrip at the bottom of the screen. Then activate Auto-sync and click on the Reset button. That should reset all of the images to your camera default settings.

  • Getting a new iMac - overwhelmed w info here but need help

    Hi,
    I'm getting a new iMac next week and need help with Blackberry Bold 9000 issues and syncing with iCal, etc on the machine.  I have been told that I can buy an app for about $30 that will sync the BB with the mac programs but reading here, I am confused - are some of the posts here and the KB notes related to syncing directly with the mac software or are they only for making a separate BB desktop for the mac?
    I have looked at several of the KB notes but I haven't found the answer yet.
    thanks.

    What’s the difference between:
    8GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 4x2GB http://Add $200.00...
    (from 4GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x2GB)
    and
    8GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x4GB http://Add $600.00
    4GB DIMMs are at present significantly more expensive than 2GB DIMMs. It's your choice whether to pay the extra money and have empty slots available for additional future memory expansion (without removing any existing memory).
    I presume 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel i7 is bigger, or more powerful than the 3.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo of the 21.5” iMac model. Correct?
    Generally yes. You can see benchmarks on places like Barefeats if you want to see comparison numbers.
    it appears the CD/DVD problem thing is not evident in the 27” model as it at least was in the 21.5” model. Right?
    I can't add anything to what I said on the subject previously.
    cracked screens upon opening the box of the new computer, were much more of a problem for the bigger, 27” models that the 21.5” models. Hopefully, Apple has taken care of that by packaging them more carefully.
    I haven't seen a report of any cracked screens in several weeks now. But with the gorillas the shipping companies tend to use, there are no guarantees. I once received a pallet-load of computers that the trucking company had driven a forklift blade through. So you never know how your computer might arrive. The prevalence of problems seems to have been alleviated, though.
    Regards.

    If you have upgraded the RAM, the likely cause is upgraded RAM or some other hardware issue. Sources of RAM caused KP's are:
    Failed RAM
    Incorrect RAM
    Unseated RAM
    Start by removing all upgraded RAM and replace with the original RAM the computer shipped with and then test. If they KP's disappear you know your issue is RAM related to the upgraded RAM.

  • Unlock iphone - have authorization but need help

    I am trying to unlock my iPhone 5 so that I can pass it on to someone else.
    I have gone ahead and backed up and restored the phone to factory settings just as a housecleaning step to clean out the phone .  After I did that I found out that the phone is going to someone else so I requested unlock authorization from my carrier ATT which I have received.
    Here is where I am confused.  The instructions in the ATT email to unlock the phone states that I should backup and restore the phone again to factory settings.  The problem is when I connect the phone to iTunes on my computer I see different options. The screen is Welcome to Your New Phone and it gives me the option to:
    Set the phone us as new
    Restore from this backup (which shows my latest backup)
    I do not see on this screen the option to backup and I thought I did not want to restore from a backup but needed to select restore iPhone.  So basically it seems like I put the carriage in front of the horse.  Where do I go from here? 

    Okay, thanks.  I selected Set up the phone as new and now see the phone in my Mac iTunes. 
    One more question, do I still need to backup the phone which will require me to set up the actual phone or can I skip that step and just restore phone?

    so i will travel to another state and i will be with my aunt that doesnt have a computer and of course no internet. so i wanted to know if there is any place where i can tranfer music to it. like an apple store? please i need help

    It would probably be best to find a family friend who can give you some time on their computer but here's some additional advice. By default the iPod is set to "automatically manage songs and playlists", and it links to a specific computer to update. To use it on multiple computers you need to change the update method to to "manually manage songs and playlists":

  • Really, really easy but need help

    This question is very easy but I just began java and I need help. I need to write a simple program to display an invoice with item name, number, quantity, and price. I am going to use two classes but I can't figure out how to create instances to make the items display. Can anyone help?

    here you go, hope the following code helps
    public class InvoiceTest
         public static void main(String[] args)
              Invoice in = new Invoice("375ml fanta", 1234, 10, 1.5);
              System.out.println(in.toString());
    public class Invoice
         private String itemName;
         private int itemNumber;
         private int quantity;
         private double price;
         private double totalPrice;
         public Invoice(String name, int num, int qua, double price)
              itemName = name;
              itemNumber = num;
              quantity = qua;
              this.price = price;
         public String getItemName()
              return itemName;
         public int getItemNumber()
              return itemNumber;
         public int getQuantity()
              return quantity;
         public double getPrice()
              return price;
         public double getTotalPrice()
              totalPrice = (double)(price * quantity);
              return totalPrice;
         public String toString()
              return "invoice detail: \n"
                     + "item name: " + getItemName() + "\n"
                     + "item number: " + getItemNumber() + "\n"
                     + "quantity: " + getQuantity() + "\n"
                     + "price:" + getPrice() + "\n"
                     + "total price: " + getTotalPrice();
    }

  • I need a Rich Text Editor so I'm making one but need help.

    Hi all,
    I'm still figuring out the TLF and how it works so my question might seem dumb to some but any help would be great.
    I'm making a RTE because I need access to a TextFlow when the user is done editing the text. It wasn't obviouse that the halo RTE could do that so I'm making my own.
    The problem I'm running in to is that a user can select a range of text and apply something like italics to it. But if they don't have a range selected, say for example they just want to start off typing in italics, then how would I do that?
    I've tried doing this and it works for a range but not anything else
    var textfmt:TextLayoutFormat = rte.getFormatOfRange(null, rte.selectionAnchorPosition, rte.selectionActivePosition);
    textfmt.fontStyle = (textfmt.fontStyle == FontPosture.ITALIC) ? FontPosture.NORMAL : FontPosture.ITALIC;
    rte.setFormatOfRange(textfmt, rte.selectionAnchorPosition, rte.selectionActivePosition);
    I also tried this when there wasn't a range selected and it also didn't work
    var f:TextLayoutFormat = new TextLayoutFormat();
    f.fontStyle = FontPosture.ITALIC;
    IEditManager(rte.textFlow.interactionManager).applyContainerFormat(f);
    Any help would be great.
    Thanks.

    Never mind, I did the following and things worked for me.
    if (rte.textFlow && rte.textFlow.interactionManager is IEditManager)
               var f:TextLayoutFormat = new TextLayoutFormat();
               f.fontStyle = (italics.selected) ? FontPosture.ITALIC : FontPosture.NORMAL;
               IEditManager(rte.textFlow.interactionManager).applyFormat(f, null, f, null);                       
    If you want to add anything or explain anything I would appreciate that.
